Family History Beginners Board / Re: Louis Selig

Thanks Carole for your input what I am trying to get my head round is would Mary have been likely to have taken on a Jewish Name to marry Louis according to the rites of the Jewish faith and then reverted to her original name after the marriage. It may be that they were first married in Germany which is why there is no marriage on free bmd but if so would they describe themselves as bachelor and spinster :)

Carole - I can't scan in the certificate tonight will have to do it tomorrow
Louis is a commercial traveller on Fanny's birth certificate and describes himself as a merchant on the marriage certificate. :)

Thanks Carol for your thoughts. The marriage certificate says that Louis and Rebecca were Bachelor and spinster.
David and |Louis were brothers> :)

Family History Beginners Board / Louis Selig

Just a ramble this as I would be interested in any ideas people may have about this puzzle-
My 2x G Grandmother Fanny Selig was born in 1846 in Liverpool, father Louis Selig mother Mary Selig(maiden name not clear), Louis Selig is on 1851 census at hotel in IOM. I have been unable to find Fanny, Mary and sibling on 1851. In 1858 Louis  Selig Kusel marries Rebecca Kusel according to rites of Jewish Religion at 44 Lime Street , Liverpool. On 1861 census Louis is living with Mary and family at 44 Lime Street and on subsequent census is with Mary. I have been unable to find a Rebecca Kusel on any census, birth or death index so I'm stumped. The only thing I can think of is that Mary should take on the name Rebecca for a Jewish wedding. Is this likely to have happened? :D

Thanks everyone for all you help on this.
Ewshotlad can I ask a question please ? IGI has a marriage for James Saunders to Elizabeth( no surname) 1832 Tadley, Berks(??) do you have any info on this?
Also I have a birth for Sarah Withers IGI 30/3/1777 Wotton under Edge Gloucester( on 1851 census Sarah Saunders gives birthplace as Wootton).  Marriage James Saunders 27/3/1806 Romsey, Hants do you think I am barking up wrong tree with this line?

Berkshire Lookup Requests / Tadley Parish
« on: Sunday 28 March 10 17:17 BST (UK)  »
If anyone is able to lookup registers for this parish I would be most indebted and grateful to them.
I am looking for the parents of James Saunders. On the IGI entry for his marriage in 1832  his birth year is given as 1807 but no parents names are given. There are many entries for Saunders in Tadley and usually it is given as being in the county of Hampshire although on his marriage entry it is given as Berkshire so I intend to post this thread there as well.
 James married Elizabeth in 1832 ( I dont know her surname so if its not too much of an ask can this be checked?) and is on 1841 census as living in Tadley1832. I am most grateful for your help Lynn :)
